Temple's Khalif Wyatt has been named the Atlantic-10 Player of the Year.

Joining Wyatt on the All-Conference First Team are Rotnei Clarke of Butler, Dwayne Evans of Saint Louis, La Salle's Ramon Galloway and Chaz Williams of Massachusetts.

Briante Weber of VCU was named Defensive Player of the Year and Semaj Christon of Xavier won Rookie of the Year honors.

Chris Thomas has reopened his recruitment after pledging to Xavier six months ago.

A 6-foot-5 guard, Thomas has drawn interest from several schools, including Missouri, Iowa State and Seton Hall.

Thomas is considered one of the top scoring guards in the class of 2013.

Devin Williams has trimmed his list of schools to UCLA, Memphis, North Carolina State, Ohio State, and West Virginia.

 The 6-foot-8 Williams eliminated Xavier from consideration.

Williams has scheduled visits to West Virginia (Sept. 27), UCLA (Oct. 6) and Memphis (Oct.19).

Xavier is showing interest in DJ Wingfield, a 6-foot-5 guard out of Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Wingfield has offers from St. Bonaventure, Ball State, Akron, Kent State, Toledo, NKU, Bowling Green, Stony Brook and Saint Francis.

Xavier has expelled Dezmine Wells for "a serious violation of the Code of Student Conduct."

Wells was an Atlantic-10 Conference All-Rookie member, starting 32 games and averaging 9.8 points.

Roddy Peters has seemingly become Maryland’s top priority for the 2013 class.

The 6-foot-4 point guard from District Heights (Md.) took an official visit to College Park earlier this week.

“It went really good. I liked it,” said Peters, whose rapid summer ascent landed him as a consensus top-50 recruit. "They took me around to see everything, I got to see the dorms, talked to a couple of the players (Nick Faust and Pe’Shon Howard), met the trainers … They just said that they really want me at Maryland. That’s what (my mom) liked. Coach (Mark) Turgeon told me he really wanted me. She likes them.

“He told me how I can come in and be a point guard, how he thinks I fit the style,” he continued. “Of course, they were all saying that I should commit, but I still want to weigh my options.”

Peters is also considering Georgetown, Xavier, UCLA, Memphis and Rutgers.

“At first everyone thought I would commit [when Maryland offered], but I have all types of schools now. It’s really all about where I’m most comfortable,” he said. “I’ve got some thinking to do. I think I’ll commit during basketball season.”
